Why borrow to invest?
By borrowing to invest (also known as gearing) you can boost your investment power by building an investment portfolio larger than if you did using just your savings.
Gearing can be used for a range of goals including wealth creation, saving for a home deposit, a trip overseas, children’s education or saving outside super. Similar to gearing into property via a mortgage, you can also gear into the share market with a margin loan.
What is a margin loan?
A margin loan is a line of credit that allows you to borrow money to invest in a wide variety of acceptable investments - such as shares, ETFs and unlisted managed funds - to gain additional exposure to dividends, franking credits and the potential to accelerate investment returns.
You can leverage an existing portfolio or create a new one to help meet your financial goals.
